flex cuffs
Disposable binding straps
Flex cuffs are disposable restraints made of flexible plastic, used like handcuffs but designed for single use.
Law enforcement uses them for mass arrests when metal handcuffs would be impractical: Police zip-tied protesters with flex cuffs.
They work like heavy-duty zip ties and must be cut off rather than unlocked.
Also called zip cuffs or plastic cuffs.
